then a door opens into the bathroom. 
This brings us to the range where we 
started. Plenty of kettles and stew- 
pans of different sizes should be kept on 
hand, not only as convenient, but in 
order to make the most of the fire. Also 
plenty of mixing dishes, basins and 
spoons to save time. 
Agateware is a great comfort, as it is 
lighter than iron, more durable than 
tin, and does not discolor any fruit that 
may be cooked in it. To prevent scorch¬ 
ing over a hot stove, the asbestos plate 
purchased at slight cost, is very useful. 
In warm weather, the range should be 
exchanged for a gasoline [oil is much 
safer.— Eds.1 stove, clara t. sisson. 
FOR THE STOMACH'S SAKE. 
E once had, as a family physician, 
an old and successful doctor, 
who treated each of his patients as 
though he or she was simply a stomach, 
with a few necessary, but rather second¬ 
ary appendages in the shape of heart, 
lungs, etc. He always conveyed the 
idea that, if the digestive organs were 
all right, the rest of the system would 
speedily right itself ; and that most of 
the ills of humanity were caused by 
an abused stomach. According to his 
theory (and I think that he was right) 
the education of the race is yet in its 
infancy. Every human being, from its 
birth, should be taught how to eat, 
what to eat and how to breathe. This 
knowledge would constitute the founda¬ 
tion of a successful life, physically, 
mentally, morally. It would mean good 
health, long life, better morals, brighter 
intellects, and greater will power. It 
would mean no decayed or false teeth, 
no foul-smelling breath ; no dyspeptics, 
hence no pessimists. As the centuries 
roll ’round, each succeeding generation 
would inherit a stronger stomach, and 
the knowledge of good and evil for the 
stomach’s sake. In course of time obitu¬ 
ary and other notices would read some¬ 
thing like the following: 
Farmer Jones, aged 175, while picking apples, 
fell from a ladder, and broke his neck. He was a 
prominent member of the community, and might 
have been spared many years longer but for the 
fatal accident. 
The air ship Ariel, 400 feet in mid-air, unable to 
avoid a cyclone, turned on her beam ends, spill¬ 
ing out some of her passengers. Among the 
killed, was our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. 
Morse, aged 201. He had just retired from busi¬ 
ness, and was about to take a trip to Europe. 
A Case of Longevity. —Detroit comes to the 
front with the oldest citizen. Peter Jackson 
claims to be 305. He reads without glasses, has 
all of his teeth, and last week rode from Detroit 
to Chicago on his electric motor. 
JOSEPHINE STARR. 
BICYCLE AND BABY. 
HE new woman is a bicycle rider, 
and you may depend upon it, 
babies and bicycles will never be able 
to agree, and bicycles will win.” 
If the writer of the above had been as 
observant as he should have been, he 
would have discovered the fact that, in 
every instance where babies and bicycles 
have conflicted, babies have won, and 
the bicycle was stored in the attic until 
the time should come when the baby 
would not require constant attention, 
says the Housekeeper. If that time never 
come, the mother will console herself 
with the thought that, after all, she has 
baby. That is human nature. Few per¬ 
sons will become so strange and “new” 
as to stifle the inborn desire for a home 
and children of their own, a desire 
which God has made by far the larger 
part of their natures. It is true that 
there are women born without that 
desire ; but they are in small minority, 
and it really makes no very great differ¬ 
ence what fad they adopt to fill the 
place of natural mother love. They are 
not the sort of women with whom the 
sensible men of the future ought to fall 
in love. The women born with natural 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
womanly longings may sometimes fancy 
that they are so “advanced” as to be 
unnatural; but when love comes all 
their fads are speedily forgotten, and 
the true woman asserts herself. 
The fear that women are going to 
graduate from home-making duties is 
nearly as old as the hills. It has always 
been unreasonable, because contrary to 
the laws of Nature and of truth, and it 
is surprising how it manages to live as it 
does. It must be well nourished in 
man’s unacknowledged sense of his own 
unworthiness. 
FOR MIND AND HEART. 
Praise not thy work, but let thy work praise thee! 
For deeds, not words, make each man’s memory 
stable. 
If what thou dost is good, its good all men will 
see; 
Musk by its smell is known, not by its label. 
—Saadi. 
....IIaryot Holt Caiioon: “ So many 
women spell home with five letters in¬ 
stead of four. They start in with ‘ h-o ’ 
all right enough, but instead of ending 
it with ‘m-e’ they finish the word 
‘ u-s-e.’ ” 
... .Rev. C. M. Southgate : “ There is 
need of a higher standard of speech and 
thought among our young men. Wick¬ 
edness is not wit; neither is filth humor. 
It is the beginning of those forms of sin 
that undermined the great cities of 
antiquity.” 
_Dr. Lorimer in Golden Rule: “ The 
disinclination to render an equivalent 
for what we receive has impaired the 
honesty of the nation, has produced a 
generation of schemers, and has resulted 
in constantly recurring financial crises 
and bankruptcies.” 
....Junius Henri Browne in Harper’s 
Bazar: “ The law of progress is that 
woman shall refine man; that man shall 
rationalize woman; that the two shall 
grow more and more alike, until, finally, 
let us hope that each will have the vir¬ 
tues of both, and the defects of neither.” 
....Home Queen: “The woman of to¬ 
day wishes to know, and not to take so 
much on faith as she was once expected 
to do, and she has come into a habit of 
letting little escape her as beyond her 
province. She meets man on his own 
grounds, and claims, not his preroga¬ 
tives, but his privileges to make a way 
through difficulty unhampered by tra¬ 
dition and imposed circumstance.” 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
An Exquisite Hand Bag.—A piece of 
black satin is required, 21% inches in 
width, and 9% in depth. Buttercups are 
strewn over it, 25 in number, some 
singly, some in pairs, some in clusters of 
three or four each, all with long stems, 
done in Asiatic filo silk No. 2014. The 
bag is then lined with surah. A circular 
piece of card-board is cut four inches in 
diameter, first covered with one thick¬ 
ness of wadding, then one side with 
black satin, the other with surah like 
the lining ; the bag is gathered to fit the 
outer edge of the card-board and sewed 
to it. A gilt cord finishes the bottom of 
the bag where it is sewed to the circular 
piece. Double-faced black satin ribbon 
three-fourths of an inch wide is used for 
strings; it requires 2% yards. A black 
satin hand bag lined with heliotrope silk 
has field violets, with long stems strewn 
over the front, hand painted, m. j. a. 
Bedside Slippers. —Essential to the 
comfort of the mother of the family, is 
a pair of bedside slippers to sit beside 
the bed ready to slip on in a moment 
when anything calls her up at night. 
Leaving a warm bed and going about 
barefoot on a cold night, is a risky thing 
to do ; yet how often it is done. Some¬ 
times haste excuses the act; often the 
wish to disturb others as little as possi¬ 
ble causes one to leave off shoes and go 
about noiselessly in bare or stockinged 
feet. A pair of slippers comfortable au~ 
easy to slip on will hardly be ignored by 
even a careless person, and they may be 
easily and quickly made. The one 
essential is a pair of lamb’s wool soles of 
the right size. These are warm to the 
touch at all times, and do not chill the 
foot as does a cold shoe. The upper part 
may be crochetted or cut from any thick, 
warm cloth. In either case, let them 
come well up on the ankle, as they will 
give better protection than the very low 
slipper. An elastic around the top will 
hold them snug when worn. G. H. 
Teach Self-help. —Encourage the 
little ones to wait upon themselves says 
the Household. Do not say, “Let me 
hang up your coat and hat; you cannot 
reach the hook.” But place the hook 
within reach of their short arms. By 
such simple methods, are children 
trained in habits of orderliness, self- 
reliance and willingness to serve others, 
as well as to wait upon themselves.

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin ,s 
within; its manifestations without. Hence, to 
cure tlie disease the cause must be removed, and 
in no other way can a cure ever be effected. 
Warner’s SAFE Cure is established on just this 
principle. It realizes that 
95 PER CENT. 
of all diseases arise from deranged Kidneys and 
Liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the 
difficulty. The elements of which it is composed 
art directly upon these great organs, both ns a 
food and restorer, and, by placing them in a 
healthy condition, drive disease and pain front 
the system. 
For the innumerable troubles caused by 
unhealthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; 
for the distressing Disorders of Women; forul! 
Nervous Affections, and physical derangements 
generally, this great remedy has no equal. Its 
past record is a guarantee of continued per¬ 
formance. WARNER’S SAFE CURE CO.,
